Space Babes from Outer Space

Right, well from this 2017 sci-fi comedy movie's cover alone, then I wasn't really expecting a whole lot. But still, as I hadn't already seen director Brian K. Williams' "Space Babes from Outer Space" movie, then of course I had to give it a viewing.

Well, "Space Babes from Outer Space" is not exactly groundbreaking cinema, and it is as corny and cheesy as you would assume it to be given the movie's title and its cover. Initially, I was dreading this would be a lousy and sleazy movie bordering on being softcore pornography, but thankfully director Brian K. Williams didn't venture that far down that path. "Space Babes from Outer Space" has some topless nudity in it and that is about it, so thumbs up for that.

The storyline in "Space Babes from Outer Space" is pretty straight forward. I will say that the storyline was actually corny enough to be enjoyable for what it turned out to be. And the movie was actually not all that bad in comparison to so many other movies of the same ilk. Sure, this isn't Shakespearian storytelling, but you get what you would expect from a movie such as this.

This is a low budget movie, pure and simply. But the props, costumes, wardrobes, sets, etc. Were actually fair, and they added a good layer of charms to the movie. It worked very well in favor of the movie, as it brought a somewhat stylish sense of low budget charm to the production. So, thumbs up on that achievement.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actress or actor that were on the cast list. But I will say that those involved in the movie put on good enough performances. I can't single out anyone for a particularly memorable performance, though, but in overall the actors and actresses put on good enough jobs.

It takes a somewhat special mindset to sit down and watch a movie like "Space Babes from Outer Space". You have to enjoy corny sci-fi movies that are aimed at a randy, young adult audience. And you also need to have a liking for movies that doesn't take itself or anything else serious. And most importantly, you need to have a love for low budget cinema.

All in all, "Space Babes from Outer Space" was watchable enough for what it turned out to be. However, it is not a movie that I will be watching a second time.

My rating of "Space Babes from Outer Space" lands on a five out of ten stars.

I don't know what the 10 star reviewers are smoking, but I want some. If you want an honest indicator of how good this film is: look at the trailer. The "Space Babes" spaceship is made of cardboard and the control console is literally covered in tin foil. Look, this film came out in 2017, not 1966. There is no reason whatsoever to make a film as poor as this. To even call it a "film" besmirches the more respectable, talented artists who work tirelessly to create cinematic masterpieces. Space Babes is so bad that it doesn't even deserve a Razzie. Last year's Razzie winner compared to this would be an Oscar contender. Truly one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. It has no redeeming value whatsoever.

I implore you: don't waste your time. Watching paint dry is far more entertaining than this garbage.

If you slipped the smooth curvy disc into the warm slit of your player expecting to see a science fiction epic, you will be disappointed. Sorely, I might even go as far as to say.

If you expected a movie about space babes who are from outer space, however, you will be entertained to no end.

I advise you to lower your expectations to the level that the movie's title already suggests, so you can comfortably join Vanassa, Ragyna, and Carrieola on their quest for love and space ship energy that's best harvest in a strip club.

Perhaps even lower your expectations even further, so you can be pleasantly surprised.

There is no budget to speak of here. No acting that's going to bring in an oscar. No special effects you can't make yourself on your phone while out drinking with your buddies.

But what you will absolutely get is a bunch of people who had a lot of fun making a movie, and who should be rewarded by watching it.

Whatever you do, if you manage to find that expectation-sweet spot, however narrow its range may be, you are guaranteed to enjoy yourself for almost 90 minutes.

I enjoyed the movie. I must admit that I am a sucker for B movies regardless of year. It was funny, fun and a decent story. The direction was great, nice shots all around unlike many B style movies this generation. Practical effects are a go to in my book. Very little CGI and I love that. The acting was better than most and there was beautiful women dancing. The only thing missing was full nudity. If you are going to make a real B movie, you need to be showing it all to get that rating up.

It's like Troma and classic 80s late night cult schlock got together and had a baby in 2017! So many great puns! An amazing 80s-esque soundtrack! This is by far one of the best films I've seen this year! Space Babes From Outer Space has cult classic written all over it!

This film has that "late night comedy" feel, without the overabundance of nudity in an attempt to lock in viewers (not to say that there isn't plenty of nudity, but those scenes aren't the selling point of the film). It's definitely the sort of film that you can watch again and again with some chicken nuggets, a few cold beers, and your best friends.
